Octavius Ellis netted a double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, as Cincinnati took an early lead and held it to beat Tulane 63-47 on Saturday. Kevin Johnson added 15 points for the Bearcats (20-9, 11-5 American Conference), Shaquille Thomas had 11 points and Gary Clark had eight points and nine rebounds. Johnson sank back-to-back 3-pointers - he was 4 of 6 from distance overall - to cap a 13-4 start for the Bearcats on their way to a 30-16 advantage at the break. Tulane got to within 12 points, 37-25, early in the second half but could not get closer as Cincinnati continued to dominate and cruised to the win.Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:31:17 PSTncaaburn:newsml:sports.yahoo,lego:19780928:top,article,decbac9c-e922-3587-b87a-3e74649f027b-l:1Ellis scores 20, Cincinnati beats UCF 83-60 (The Associated Press)http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=1313eir82/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/news/ellis-scores-20-cincinnati-beats-ucf-83-60-031512602--ncaab.html

After getting pushed around in their first game, Xavier made sure the rematch was no contest. Myles Davis scored 18 points, and Xavier never trailed during a 73-56 victory over No. 19 Butler on Saturday, the Musketeers' fourth win over a Top 25 team this season. The Musketeers (18-10, 8-7 Big East) blew the game open at the start of the second half, with Davis hitting a pair of 3s that sparked a 15-6 run. ''We definitely played up to our potential,'' said Davis, who failed to score during an 88-76 loss at Butler on Jan. 10.Sat, 21 Feb 2015 16:20:54 PSTncaaburn:newsml:sports.yahoo,lego:19780928:top,article,8284e02e-b9a1-35a9-90aa-82394e79fb62-l:1Butler-Xavier Preview (The Associated Press)http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=12c1s7k0a/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/news/butler-xavier-preview-213847100--ncaab.html
Butler has experienced a full range of emotions in the final seconds over its last two games, losing to the Big East's best team on a 3-pointer before converting a layup to beat the one that's bringing up the rear in the conference. A big edge inside helped it have things under control as the clock ticked down in its first meeting with Xavier. The 19th-ranked Bulldogs will try to avoid another nail-biter Saturday at the Cintas Center, where the Musketeers return hoping to build on an emotional win over their biggest rival. Villanova's Darrun Hilliard hit a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left last Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse, giving the Wildcats a 68-65 win that denied Butler a chance to pull even for the Big East lead.Sat, 21 Feb 2015 08:26:04 PSTncaaburn:newsml:sports.yahoo,lego:19780928:top,article,a3c0a5aa-100f-3d64-835e-5202352975e9-l:1Bubble breakdown: UCLA squanders huge chance at Arizona State (The Dagger)http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=13v2alt23/*http%3A//rivals.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/bubble-breakdown--ucla-squanders-huge-chance-at-arizona-state-071844195.html

Freshman Trevon Bluiett made two free throws with 11.5 seconds left - his only points of the game - and Xavier rallied for a 59-57 win over Cincinnati on the Bearcats' court Wednesday night. The game returned to campus three years after a brawl in the closing seconds at Xavier left the series in question. The Bearcats (17-9) sold out their 13,176-seat arena for the first time this season, underscoring the intensity of the rivalry. ''I love it, to be honest,'' said Xavier senior point guard Dee Davis, who scored 16 points.Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:05:32 PSTncaaburn:newsml:sports.yahoo,lego:19780928:top,article,9cb7b9b6-b471-3f1b-b4da-5b628f6ec210-l:1Xavier, Cincinnati rivalry game moves back to campus (The Associated Press)http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=137ur18rn/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/news/xavier-cincinnati-rivalry-game-moves-back-campus-224316977--ncaab.html
Cincinnati's intra-city college basketball rivalry is back on campus. Xavier will make the 2 1/2-mile drive to the University of Cincinnati on Wednesday night to play their annual game. Only one player remains from the brawl - Cincinnati forward Octavius Ellis, who was suspended for six games.

An impressive offensive performance from Nic Moore over the weekend helped SMU continue its road success and move closer to first place in the American Athletic Conference. The two highest-scoring games of the diminutive guard's career have come against Houston. Looking to build on his latest effort with another strong outing against the Cougars, Moore tries to help the No. 25 Mustangs extend their longest single-season road winning streak in 48 years to six games Thursday night. SMU (19-5, 10-2) returned to the Top 25 last week amid an eight-game winning streak that ended with a 62-54 loss to Cincinnati last Thursday.Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:58:00 PSTncaaburn:newsml:sports.yahoo,lego:19780928:top,article,e0d59c0c-3197-34b1-9511-01b732ec9e67-l:1Temple wins 6th straight; 75-59 over Cincinnati (The Associated Press)http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=135dogpci/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/news/temple-wins-6th-straight-75-59-over-cincinnati-024932416--ncaab.html

SMU followed each of its previous two losses by winning eight straight. The No. 23 Mustangs will go on the road and try to hand surging Tulsa its first American Athletic Conference defeat Saturday night. The Mustangs had won eight straight since a 56-50 loss at Cincinnati on Jan. 3 snapped their first eight-game run, but they were held to 36.5 percent shooting and allowed the Bearcats to hit 56.8 percent in Thursday's 62-54 home loss. "We've got to learn from this and move on." The immediate task the Mustangs face at Tulsa (17-5, 10-0) should present a more daunting challenge than Texas Southern and rebuilding Memphis posed after their two previous defeats.Fri, 06 Feb 2015 09:25:51 PSTncaaburn:newsml:sports.yahoo,lego:19780928:top,article,2f10af9c-a14a-3408-b99e-750298517e6b-l:1Cincinnati ends strong in 62-54 win at No. 23 SMU (The Associated Press)http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=12t1mrp8t/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/news/cincinnati-ends-strong-62-54-win-no-23-044133999--ncaab.html
Once Cincinnati settled down and got away from an early turnover-per-minute pace, everything turned out OK against No. 23 SMU. So far, the Bearcats are the only American Athletic Conference team to beat coach Larry Brown's squad. Jermaine Sanders scored 15 points, including one of two huge 3-pointers for Cincinnati as it started to pull away late in a 62-54 win Thursday night over a Mustangs team playing its first game since getting back into the Top 25.

With an American Athletic Conference showdown looming against first-place Tulsa, SMU isn't likely to look past a visiting Cincinnati team that provided its only defeat since November. Back in the Top 25 for the first time in 10 weeks, the 23rd-ranked Mustangs seek their best 23-game start in 58 years with their ninth straight victory Thursday night against the Bearcats. SMU (18-4, 9-1) began the season at No. 22 in the AP poll before dropping three of its first five, including a 78-72 loss to then-No. 25 Arkansas that has marked its only setback in 14 home games. The Mustangs have since won 16 of 17, and they notched their best league start since going 9-1 on the way to the Southwest Conference title in 1992-93 with Saturday's 75-56 home win over Central Florida.Wed, 04 Feb 2015 15:25:55 PSTncaaburn:newsml:sports.yahoo,lego:19780928:top,article,304717f1-316f-30d5-a4fe-79d46c9cc640-l:1Correction: UConn-Cincinnati story (The Associated Press)http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/ncaab/SIG=12ouf22e9/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/news/correction-uconn-cincinnati-story-214909948--ncaab.html

Troy Caupain's best game gave Cincinnati a sense that it's firmly in the race and ready to move up.

''Troy played tremendous, except for one play,'' associate head coach Larry Davis said.
